GUI wrapper for fastboot tool.
(GUI = graphical user interface)
Used technology: Mono (C# language)
For platforms: Windows, Linux,
MAC
For Kindle models: Kindle 4 (non-touch, mini, etc...), Kindle Touch, maybe Kindle 3
What works now: getvar, setvar, reboot, flash (diags only), control of maximal size of file to flash with (but not control of it's content), no need to run under root on Linux (but once require root password before executing first fastboot operation), automatic installation of drivers on Windows, integrated "How to" about how to put Kindle to fastboot.
General instructions:
- extract archive
- run "Fastboot-GUI(.exe)"
- see Help -> Contents for help
Current available releases:
-
Windows
- for .NET version download "Fastboot GUI - WIN dotNET.zip" - compatible with XP, Vista, 7
- .NET framework needed, but at least Vista and 7 has it in default I think
- for native version download "Fastboot GUI - WIN NATIVE.zip " - should be compatible with any 32 bit or 64 bit Windows since about Win98.
-
Linux- for native version download "Fastboot GUI - LINUX NATIVE.zip"
- require libmono-2.0-1 package,
- at x86_64 platform (64 bit OS) download "Fastboot-GUI_64bit.zip".
- maybe will be needed to mark as executable. Also it wants root password because of restricted access to USB in Linux.
Feedback:
Please post feedback
especially about Kindle Touch, driver installation and bugs.
MAC users:
Because I have lost access to any MAC, if there is someone who would like to run this application on MAC, I can provide instruction how to build it.
